"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
"My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am."
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
"Life, religion and art all converge in Bali. They have no word in their language for 'artist' or 'art.' Everyone is an artist."
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
